No Picture
by Ted Richer
I have no picture of you —
. . .
I need one for the coffin.
. . .
You could draw it —
. . .
Or paint it.
. . .
You could take a photograph —
. . .
A snapshot —
. . .
Or a selfie.
. . .
You could make one any size —
. . .
Large.
. . .
Small.
. . .
Still it must fit my coffin —
. . .
A plain wooden box.
. . .
You could write a love poem on the back —
. . .
Or you could leave it blank.
